anthropologie

My new favorite store in London is Anthropologie. Everything is simply touching! When we walked across King's Road suddenly I remembered Lynn from Japan, had pointed me to this shop and I wrote the addresses of the two stores in London in my diary. Once we arrived at the address on King's Road I was completely in love with everything I saw in the window. We went in the shop and both the interior and the goods were just perfect. After quite a while Pippa was getting bored and started texting her friends.

I promissed her I would hurry touching everything and make sure I really wouldn't skip any corner, but I simply could not get away...I think I told Pip at least ten times how great Anthropologie is that afternoon.

The next day when we got off the bus at Regent Street I convinced Pip, that I really had to go back to Anthropologie, to have another look and actually buy something! This store was almost even better, if that's possible.

The recycled chandeliers are amazing. When I tried my jacket in the changing rooms I found this embroidered chair!We bought some souvenirs, like this fabric &, because we couldn't decide which letter we had to choose.

When I got home and checked my mail I found out that Apartement Therapy posted the wood-&-wool-wonderland house tour and the second comment (Anthropologie should ask if they can shoot their next catalog there...) is the biggest compliment!

I went to San Francisco last week and visited the A store. I fell in love!!! Visited it three times and could not go outside anymore. If it was possible i had taken everything home with me, but my suitcase was to small! I only bought two doorhandles. My boyfriend even liked to spend time in the store! I want one in Holland!

Be sure to check out The Anthropologist. It's Anthro's sister website (they have a link to it on the Anthro website near the facebook/twitter icons). They sometimes have tutorials on how they built their window display's and where they get their inspiration.
